Sharapova vs My Little Sakura

I don’t know how I missed the last match up. I thought I was following the tennis scene close enough…
Ah but anyway, here is the matchup again: a tantalizing meeting between the current glam queen of tennis (who can actually win tournaments!) and my all time favourite ladies tennis player, Martina Hingis.
Did I mention that I was moved almost to tears on the news that her ankle injury forced Hingis to retire 3 years ago? And did you know that I was moved almost to tears that she has decided to pop back onto the scene?
Hingis is doing well now, but she is not in Mauresmo’s powerplay league, although I do love a tennis match that relies more on brain than brawn. That, I think, is why I really love Hingis so much… she’s not a huge power player, but one who actually plays watchable tennis.
During Hingis’s absence I admit to taking a liking to the Russion beauty, but in this matchup, there is only one person I want to see win. And that’s my cute little sakura, just as I remembered her in 1998 during Wimbledon.

DS, I’d like to see Hingis do well in her comeback, too. She’s looking pretty good.
I saw that she just got beaten by Mauresmo. I think Mauresmo’s just too strong for her physically (does anyone else think she looks like a man?).
Anyways, I think Hingis still has some good tennis left in her. It’s not easy coming back from a 3 year lay off.
ps. ds, hope you update a bit more often! ell

Hehe… sorry ell… I’ve really got to get up and post more. The thing is I have plenty of stuff in my archives to be posted, but nothing has yet gone up to the site. I’ll get to it.
Thanks for still reading! 🙂 🙂

When heroes and expectations fall, the beggar lauds the dime. When someone wants to do it all, but cannot find the time.
Suffice to say that made no sense, but nobody will mind. With time I hope to find the will, to write a better line.
